Needs an ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL(1). I'm also debating whether it needs
ATTRIBUTE_RETURN_CHECK; normally, close() fails in very few situations,
and in cleanup paths, you tend to already have another error more
important so you can ignore the secondary close() failures. So I'm
probably 80-20 against adding ATTRIBUTE_RETURN_CHECK.

+ virClose(&(FD))

Thinking about it a bit more, what if we provide two variants?

int virClose(int *fdptr, bool preserve_errno)
{
    int saved_errno;
    int rc;

    if (*fdptr >= 0) {
        if (preserve_errno)
            saved_errno = errno;
        rc = close(*fdptr);
        *fdptr = -1;
        if (preserve_errno)
            errno = saved_errno;
    } else
        rc = 0;

    return rc;
}

int virClose(int *fdptr) ATTRIBUTE_RETURN_CHECK;

/* For use on normal paths; caller must check return value, and failure sets errno per close(). */
#define VIR_CLOSE(FD) virClose(&(FD),false);

/* For use on cleanup paths; errno is unaffected by close, and no return value to worry about. */
#define VIR_FORCE_CLOSE(FD) ignore_value(virClose(&(FD),true))
